On earth, in the infirmary, I woke up. I am in restraints again.
The nurse said, "Dr. Frasier, Leslie has awakened."
Dr. Frasier nodded. "Go get General Hammond."
I tried to get out of my restraints.
"Just relax."
General Hammond, Jack, Sam, and Teal'c walked in the room overlooking the infirmary. Martouf walked over to the side of the bed.
I changed into Lantash2. He asked, "Martouf, what are you doing here?"
Martouf said, "The Tauri wish to remove you from Leslie."
Lantash2 said, "I will not leave this body."
Martouf said, "I am sorry Lantash. If we do not, Leslie will be locked up and further sedated."
Lantash2 said, "So be it." My eyes glowed and I disappeared.
Jack said, "Fer cryin' out loud."
General Hammond said, "Put the base on full alert. Make sure Daniel Jackson doesn't leave the base."
Before I left the infirmary, I took the Goa'uld hand device they had stashed in the infirmary. I located Daniel in one of the guest rooms. I used the hand device on the men guarding the door.
I opened the door. "Hey, Daniel, let's go."
Daniel asked, "Where?"
"Road trip. Come on."
Daniel nodded. "Ok."
Daniel and I drove to my house. I had to pack some clothing for the trip. I also packed the goa'uld hand and healing devices. We then drove to his house. SG-1 drove there 5 minutes later. I was waiting for Daniel in the car. The car was visible to SG-1 and the officers who accompanied them. I quickly ran upstairs invisible to them.
I told Daniel, "Daniel, SG-1 is here."
"I'm almost done. Can you distract them?"
"I'll try."
I ran downstairs invisible to SG-1. "Jack, please let me and Daniel go."
The officers raised their guns about ready to start shooting.
Jack said, "Hold your fire! Leslie, we want to help you."
"I don't want your help Jack! I have all I need with Lantash. If you are my friend, you would let me go."
"Leslie, I am your friend, but my orders are to bring you and Daniel back."
"Well Jack, it is gonna be one hell of a fight."
I quickly ran upstairs to Daniel. He was ready to go. I grabbed his hand and we ran outside while SG-1 searched his house. We knocked out the 3 officers who were guarding our car. Daniel threw his stuff in the backseat and we drove off to a gas station. After we filled up the tank and filled up the gas container, we headed off to a hotel about 50 miles from the SGC for the night.
The next morning, we flew a little town in Nebraska called Bellevue to stay for a few days. In the airport in Nebraska, I said, "Daniel, we're gonna meet up with my high school friend AJ."
"AJ?"
"Yeah. Ashley Jensen."
"Oh."
I looked at Daniel. "You thought she was a he, didn't you?"
"Well…the name kinda threw me off."
I chuckled. "Yeah…that happens a lot. Like when I asked my parents if AJ can spend the night at our house. They went crazy on me."
"You sure she's ok with me staying?"
"Yeah. Just watch out for her. She might try and take you away from me. So…be careful."
"That won't be happening."
I chuckled. "There she is." Daniel and I walked over to my old friend Ashley Jensen. She was holding up a sign that said "Leslie MacGyver".
Ashley looked at me. "Leslie?"
"Yeah. It's me."
"Oh my goodness, Leslie." Ashley hugged me. "It's so good to see you."
"It's been too long, AJ."
Ashley broke the embrace and looked at Daniel. "And who is this handsome young man?"
"AJ, this is my boyfriend Daniel. Daniel, this is AJ."
Daniel put out his hand for AJ to shake. "It's nice to meet you."
AJ took his hand. "Indeed it is."
I said, "AJ, would you mind driving us to a motel?"
With her eyes still on Daniel, AJ said, "Oh nonsense Les. You two can stay with me."
"Ok but just for one night. Daniel and I are really need to find a motel to stay for a while."
"Well…come on then. Let's go. You can stay the night at my house and I'll take you to find some place to stay tomorrow afternoon."
AJ, Daniel and I walked outside to AJ's car. AJ asked Daniel, "Daniel, come and sit in the front with me."
Daniel looked at AJ and then back at me.
I said, "Go ahead, Daniel. I'll sit right behind you." I looked at AJ and pointed at her. "AJ, don't touch my man."
AJ sighed and rolled her eyes.
We all got into the car. Daniel and AJ sat in the front and I sat in the back behind Daniel. AJ drove off heading towards her house.
While driving, AJ asked, "So…how long have you two been together?"
Daniel answered, "A little over a year."
AJ said, "Oh…he does talk?"
"Yes, but not much."
"So…you two hungry?"
I said, "Yes. I'm starved."
"What about you Daniel? What would you like?"
Daniel answered, "Uh…yeah. Burger King is fine. I'm not really that hungry."
"Ok. You might change your mind when we get there. There's a bunch of places to eat here." AJ drove to Burger King. We all stepped out of the car and looked around.
I said, "Ooooh Daniel, I think I'm gonna get Subway."
Daniel nodded. "Ok. I'll be over here then."
"I'll order mind to go and meet you back here."
AJ said, "I'll get Burger King with Daniel."
Daniel looked at me. He mouthed, "Kiss me. Please!"
I smiled. "I'll see you in a few minutes Daniel." I briefly kissed him. I whispered in Spanish, "Te amo." (I love you)
Daniel whispered in Italian, "Ti amo, anche." (I love you, too)
I kissed him again and walked off towards Subway. I waved as I walked off.
Daniel smiled and waved. Him and AJ walked inside of Burger King. Daniel ordered a Whopper, large fries, and a large Hi-C. After Daniel got his food, he went over and sat in a corner booth. AJ ordered the same thing Daniel did. She then walked over and sat on the opposite side of Daniel. Daniel looked at what she ordered and then up at her.
AJ smiled. "Where did you first meet Les?"
Daniel answered, "I met her at work about 3 years ago."
"Oh. What do you do?"
"I'm an archeologist and a linguist for the Air Force."
"Military…and that's where you met…"
"Yes. She is a Captain in the Air Force and a fine officer."
"Wow. I would have never guessed…"
Daniel smiled and ate a fry.
I walked into Burger King and looked around. Daniel saw me and waved me over to where he and AJ were sitting. I walked over to the booth and sat on the side Daniel was on. "Hey…"
Daniel said, "Hey." Daniel looked for my Subway sandwich. "Where's your food?"
"I ate it on the way here. I was a little hungry."
AJ said, "A little?"
"Ok. I didn't eat much since we left the base 2 days ago."
"Oh." AJ asked Daniel, "So…Daniel…how many languages do you speak?"
Daniel answered, "I speak 23."
I said, "I speak 19." I smiled.
AJ made a face that made us laugh. "Damn…that's a lot…"
"Yeah." I grabbed Daniel's Hi-C and drank from it.
Daniel said, "Hey. That's mine."
"Oh. I'm sorry, Baby." I continued drinking.
AJ laughed.
AJ, Daniel and I sat, ate, and chatted to get to know each other all over again. We stayed at Burger King until the sun went down. I fell asleep on Daniel's shoulder. Daniel heard a light snore coming from me. "We should get her home. She hasn't slept in days."
"Ok. Can you carry her out to the car?"
"Yeah." Daniel picked me up in his arms and we walked out to the car. "I'll sit in the back with her."
AJ nodded. "Ok." She got into the car, put the key into the ignition and drove off to her house. My head rested in Daniel's lap. He stroked my cheek lightly. She pulled up into her driveway and shut the car off. "Well…we're here."
"Ok." Daniel picked me up and carried me inside AJ's house.
"You two can have the bed in the guest room. It's upstairs last door on the left."
Daniel nodded. "Thanks." Daniel carried me upstairs into the guest room and laid me down on the bed slowly. Daniel pushed a piece of hair out of my face. "You must be exhausted, Baby."
AJ stood in the doorframe of the guest room.
Daniel looked up and saw her. "Thank you for doing this for us. We really appreciate it."
"It's no problem." AJ smiled. "Good-night, Daniel."
Daniel smiled. "Night."
AJ smiled again and walked off to her room.
Daniel kissed me on the forehead. He then laid down on the other side of the bed and fell asleep.
